Have some home cooked Passover memes!
Descriptions are in the alt text!
Explanations for non-Jews here:
Meme #1: In the beginning of the story, Pharaoh kills the male Hebrew babies by throwing them in the Nile. However, many scholars have pointed out that it would have been more effective to kill the women and not the men, especially since the men were used for labor.
Meme #2: Moses asks Pharaoh to "let my people go!"
Meme #3: Pharaoh refuses to release the Hebrew slaves.
Meme #4: Pharaoh kept agreeing to let the Jews worship in the wilderness (which they would have used to escape), but repeatedly changed his mind at the last minute.
Meme #5: as above
Meme #6: in Exodus, the word used for frog is singular. So although the plague is frogs and probably referred to massive amounts of frogs leaving the Nile, there's an argument that it was a single, giant frog. A Godzilla/Kaiju frog.
Meme #7: Pharaoh refused to allow Jews to leave for the first nine plagues. He relented after the ten plague, the death of all Egyptian firstborns, including the animals.
Meme #8: Hashem, literally "the name," is a title for G_d. Traditionally, Jews don't write out the actual name of G_d because it's disrespectful. G_d protected the Jews from Pharaoh.
Meme #9: after Jews escaped to the desert, Moses went up a mountain to talk to G_d for forty days, during which he received the Torah. The Jews left behind were worried that G_d had forgotten them, and built a golden calf to worship. G_d was pissed and forced Jews to remain in the desert for 40 years.
Meme #10: The song "The Plagues" from the movie Prince of Egypt is incredibly catchy and will get stuck in your head
